Top 10 NA Cosplayers

Last year I posted a list of the Top Cosplayers in North America. Then I was looking at Facebook and Twitter numbers, now I've added in Instagram. The results are published below.

Here is a look at this list as of June 1, 2015.

The new factor is Instagram, last year I didn't have this on the list, but it definitely seems to be a social media powerhouse. The average Cosplayer has 3.1x as many Facebook followers as they have Instagram followers.

Once you put it all together things shift, but the same people are involved.

What other traceable factors could be included in such a ranking? All of these cosplayers travel and do a great job of promoting our medium, and they do lots of conventions. That's why I started the list in the first place, to help decide who our local convention should invite.

You may notice that this list isn't sorted by Facebook followers. Instead I used an algorithm to score followers in Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. You'll see that while Dayna Baby Lou, a Pin-up model turned Cosplayer (nothing wrong with that), has 205K on Facebook, her Twitter and Instagram numbers really fall behind. This is why she's 8th and not 1st.

If you have a Facebook page, you might notice that you've lost followers of late. This isn't because of anything you're doing wrong, Facebook has been purging fake accounts, and fake followers.
